Sailing in the Storm

One of the most memorable narratives in the Gospels was Jesus walking on the water. The scene evoked multiple themes in Christian spirituality: fear and doubt in times of stress, an encounter with the divine in the midst of the stress, peace after the troubles pass. The flow of the narrative matches our life experiences. Bad times do end; God is with us even in the darkest moments.

apostolic-times.com continues with context for the season's readings. In Romans 9, St. Paul lamented over the disbelief of his co-religionists in the Christ. In Matthew 14, Jesus walked on the water during a storm.
